Chapter 273: Master’s Wife, isn’t your request a bit too much?
Chapter 273: Master’s Wife, isn’t your request a bit too much?
The old woman who was originally bending over with her back to him, fiddling with magical flowers and herbs, was now sitting on the stone bench.
Although her hair is full of silver hair, her appearance is very delicate. Time seems to have left no trace on her face. She is very beautiful. Although she is not as beautiful as Yan Qingyue, she is not much worse than Xia Ningzhi.
In fact, because she had long since shed her youthfulness, the mature charm made the woman in front of him even more attractive.
Of course, Zhao Mu was not stunned by her beauty, but because she was looking at him with a smile, and her smiling eyes seemed to be able to see through him completely.
"I never thought that Yun Shizu's speculation about the Heavenly Ladder would turn out to be true..."
"Senior, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Mu's heart skipped a beat. Was he seen through?
"Alright, stop pretending. You're the one Qi Daorong helped me choose. How could I possibly harm you? It's just that this accident has made the gift I originally prepared for you meaningless."
"???"
The more Zhao Mu listened, the more confused he became. However, from this sentence, he could sense that the woman still had Old Man Qi in her heart, so he had to change the way she addressed him. He looked at the woman and asked, "Master's wife, what did you mean by that just now? Didn't your disciple understand?"
"Master's wife?"
Hearing this title, Chen Lin chuckled, "Did Qi Daorong ask you to call him that?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Mu lied with open eyes.
"You're talking nonsense! If Qi Daorong really dared to let you call me Master's Wife, he wouldn't have been such a coward for so many years."
Chen Lin saw through Zhao Mu's lies at a glance, but Zhao Mu did not feel embarrassed because of this. Instead, he felt a little excited inside.
Because the current situation is almost the same as he expected. The white-haired beauty in front of him obviously has a long-standing grudge with Old Man Qi. Old Man Qi is avoiding her, so he lets her chase Old Man Qi.
Haha, I’m so annoyed by this stinky old guy.
"Master's Wife, you actually misunderstood. Old Man Qi hasn't been a coward these years. He just feels sorry for you and is too ashamed to see you. Even though he risked his life to find the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma and spent countless efforts to refine the elixir, he didn't dare to hand it to you personally. He just asked me to pass it on to you."
Zhao Mu had prepared these wordings three months ago, and they finally came in handy today.
Seeing Chen Lin's slightly moved expression, he took out the elixir made from the seven-colored earth fungus from the Qiankun Ring and presented it to her with both hands. "Master's Wife, if you don't believe me, just look at this elixir and you will know whether what I said is true or not."
"this....."
When she opened the purple gold jade box and saw the elixir inside, Chen Lin could no longer remain calm. She stared at Zhao Mu with sparkling eyes and asked, "Has Qi Daorong been looking for the Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma all these years?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Mu chuckled inwardly, as he had guessed everything correctly. He immediately added fuel to the fire and said, "Master's Wife, you don't know that this Seven-Colored Earth Nether Ganoderma was found by me. To get it, Old Man Qi deceived me and even tried to snatch it from me. He just said he would compensate me in the future and then ran off to make medicine. He didn't come out until a few months ago."
As the words continued to stimulate him, Zhao Mu discovered that Chen Lin's expression began to change. It was obvious that she had been thinking about Old Man Qi for all these years.
"Where are they?"
"what?"
"Where is Qi Daorong?"
"After sending me to Wuzhou, he disappeared."
swoosh~
???
Zhao Mu was stunned.
No, I just blinked and the person disappeared?
But...hehe...it's done!
Old man Qi, you will have to pay for what you have done.
You want to trick me, right? You don't dare to meet Senior Chen Lin, right? I still want you to meet her, but it's a pity that I can't see your embarrassing look.
.....
Outside the mountain gate of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, an ordinary-looking old man in the crowd suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.
Looking up, he saw a familiar figure in green clothes rushing towards him above the clouds.
"Damn! What on earth did this little bastard say to Chen Lin?!"
Qi Daorong was startled and turned around to run away, but the next moment, he found that he could not move. Then he quickly rose into the air and came in front of Chen Lin.
"Hmph! Qi Daorong, how long are you going to be a coward? Clearly... huh?"
Chen Lin was about to say something, but suddenly frowned and casually picked up 'Qi Daorong' in front of her.
With a crackling sound, Qi Daorong suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and a pile of broken wood.
"Puppet? No wonder there's no resistance at all."
Chen Lin looked into the distance, her red lips parted, and she muttered to herself, "Qi Daorong, wait until I recover, and see if you can still escape, hum!"
.....
At the junction of Wuzhou and Lingzhou, Qi Daorong, who was leaning against a big tree drinking, suddenly sat up and started cursing!
"Damn it! What on earth did that little bastard Zhao Mu say to Chen Lin? How could she suddenly change her mind and come to me? This is impossible!"
Qi Daorong would never understand why Chen Lin became like this, because of the existence of certain people. Due to the arrogance of the latter, he would never condescend to come and look for her in person.
I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.
But there is one thing Qi Daorong can be sure of, Chen Lin's change must be related to that kid Zhao Mu, and it is likely that kid is trying to trick him!
"No, better stay away!"
Qi Daorong was a little frightened. He put away the wine gourd and immediately turned around to leave Wuzhou.
.....
In the small courtyard, Zhao Mu only waited for a moment before Chen Lin came back. He could see that her mood seemed to have stabilized a lot.
"Master's wife, are you going to see Old Man Qi?"
Zhao Mu asked in a low voice.
"Yes, but we didn't catch him. He got away!"
Chen Lin said this calmly, and then changed the subject, "Alright, forget about this damn old man, and continue with your story. What did you get from the ladder?"
"Uh...."
"What? You've already called me Master's Wife, yet you're still wary of me! Look, this is the gift I prepared for you!"
Seeing Zhao Mu's embarrassment, Chen Lin flipped his hand, and a ball of complicated scriptures appeared in his palm.
"this...."
Zhao Mu was stunned when he saw this thing, because its appearance was exactly the same as the Gui Zang obtained in the Ladder to Heaven. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be a martial art of the same level.
"This is one of the palace-guarding techniques of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, the ancient scripture: Taiyi!"
Chen Lin explained with a smile: "The spiritual cultivation method that Qi Daorong originally chose for you was actually Taiyi, but I didn't expect that you would actually obtain the ancient scripture hidden in the ladder to heaven.
Don't worry, the ancient scripture is spiritual, and even its imprint is not for others to see. I just want to know the name of the ancient scripture hidden in the ladder to heaven!"
"Return to Zang!"
Zhao Mu was no longer on guard and blurted out.
At the same time, he was also surprised. He didn't expect that he had misunderstood. The soul refining technique chosen for him by Old Man Qi was Taiyi, but he accidentally got Guizang.
"Gui Zang? Very good!"
Chen Lin muttered to herself for a while, then looked up at Zhao Mu and asked, "What do you think of Yue'er?"
"what?"
"Ah what? Isn't the moon beautiful?"
"Senior Sister Yan is as beautiful as a fairy, naturally beautiful, but..."
"That's all right. Find a day for you to become Taoist couples!"
"What?"
